Not only did Ron Paul get 10% of the vote. But Huckabee won! Huckabee is an awful candidate who is only a Republican because he is a preacher and thus disqualified to be a Democrat. Otherwise nearly all of his issues are democratic leaning!
The only brightspot is Mrs. Bill Clinton is coming in 3rd place! Inevitable, I think not! Though I do think Obama will be a tougher candidate in the general election.
I cannot believe Guiliani only got about 4% of the vote. My G-d. Well at least Fred Thompson came in a decent third place finish.
Led Zepplien World Tour???
Very interesting rumor I keep hearing on the radio (three stations actually) that there is a very good likelihood that since their one time only concert was so successful - that there is a better than good chance they might reunite for a world tour! This would be so awesome!!!! Man I would sure like to see that if they came to either Phoenix or even LA!
Its the end of the world as we know it.....
And I feel fine! ROFL...why well simple, soon people will start having sex with Robots.
Finally all those morons on Ace of Spade will be able to get laid. See there is hope for everyone! That is until you have sex with your partner and then she says to you the robot was better! Man, what a burn that will be to one's ego!
But on the upside - you can create your ideal "partner" and they will never get old, never complain, never tell you they have a headache and they can have the "assets" you request. So, what would you want for a robotic mate? Inquiring minds want to know!
Referring to Allahpundit's use of the term, which will precipitate
an immediate and disastrous worldwide population decline, possibly
signalling the end of the human race.
Levy lays out his vision of a Brave New Carnal World in
Love and Sex With Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships,
which, despite its extended riffs on sex toys through the ages, is a
snigger-free book. Levy's no Al Goldstein. Rather he's a 62-year-old
British chess master turned artificial-intelligence expert persuaded
that robot sex can brighten the lives of many, many unhappy people.
"Great sex on tap for everyone, 24/7,'' he writes on the final page of
the book. What's not to like?
Allow me to raise my hand tentatively and say, "Ummm...professor? I've
already lost my husband to fuckin' football and video games for half
the year. Can a girl get a break around here? I know why all these damn
robots are already made to look like gorgeous Asian sluts, m'kay? I AM
NOT STUPID."
Seriously, though. This will not be good for women. Robots don't have
menses. Robots are always polite. Their bodies will remain perfect
forever. If you dump a robot, it won't come over at 3 am and spraypaint
'tiny dick' on your Camaro.
Bad, bad, baaaad for women. So glad I'll be an old crone or dead before it hits the mainstream.
Let the games begin!
Tomorrow the openining round of the Presidential Election season begins. Iowa (a bunch of drunk corn farmers LOL) get to make the first vote as to who they would like to be the candidates for the Democrats and Republicans.
Man I hope Guilani comes in at least 2nd or 3rd place..and I hope Ron Paul comes in dead last!!!

Videos
From the Tasha Channel
One of the funniest was Thelma & Louise J …, The Fight Clip as well, just great . Tasha & Music II - Tasha just riding a burst of energy and creativity! and happiness I think? On the more emotional end..... The Short Goodbye clip…not really doing anything in it…but saying so much. Part I
ffice:smarttags" />Thailand…..those first few minutes of that clip was like catching lightning in a bottle. You can’t rank them so…The Stills Clip made you/me feel the most & The Love Is Strange Clip made me smile the most J Great luck in the new year with both of your movies on YT + movies for school J
Tributes
Luc’s nearly 10 min movie….was like a real short film. with a story line and plot…with great effects. If you have never made a tribute? It takes just hours and hours just to search and find clips that match the music…for a 3 min tribute….so whow great job! Well maybe the “feel†good clip of the year was the “Welcome Back Clipâ€â€¦.Other cool tributes: Happy Birthday Tasha, , Two Years with Tasha & Dishka, The Heep Tribute Video, Photographs tasha & dishka, Can’t Get enough Of You, Dishka Tribute, D& T Boogie, Tasha I like you, Summer Breeze…..and many more J
Moments….
I recall one really cool chat in Robert’s stream…. Me, Robert, Lital, Yair, PSI…who am I forgetting?…another time in the chat…Robert, Steve, Chris, and Dan…. I pretended to be dishka’s boy friend Dino…in the chat for about an hour, as a spoof that he was pretending to be Chris the whole time… Robert’s trick on PSI.
… Steve and Dan going AWOL……and the phantom Adi… I personally will not accept she exists until I can see her standing two feet in front of me…new friends like Shawn, Luc and Yair who fit right in, and a few misunderstandings here and there….

hehe...yeah that pretty much sums up the year....the Phantom Adi...well I guess you are just going to have to fly there....Well you know I do gotta keep "teh funnah" going on the blog.

When I get comments from you guys and from Tasha. Thats first and foremost.
Then the countdown. My error. The girls going to school. Recaps of the various chats.
Those were always cool. Even the criticisms I have received.
and all of the stuff I copy from Ace. He is just way too funny and that is why he is the KING of Morons!

very nice post Chris!
there was another great clip "Going through the motions" the last released by Tasha and... disappeared after two weeks!
I don't know if it has been removed by youtube or Tasha has decided to delete it. you're right.. making a tribute takes a lot of times! most of it is to find the perfect music
currently I'm working on the sequel of Tasha's Secret.... I'll try to make a good sequel, I hope that it will be nice as the first

Stocks
The Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2007 increased 6.4%.
The S&P 500 rose 3.5%.
The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 9.8%.
During the late summer, then again in the fall and winter, the major
stock market indices became quite volatile. Certain segments of the
markets underwent long-overdue downward corrections. A few blue chip
companies were sold off in wild panics. Liberal Democrats in the
financial media predictably acted out like spoiled two-year-olds on
Dexedrine. Amidst the shrill noise, however, many professional
investors -- from leading mutual fund and hedge fund managers to a
massive foreign sovereign equity vehicle -- took advantage of the most
promising large-scale buying opportunities since early 2003.
Read "The Intelligent Investor," by Ben Graham.
Be guided accordingly.
Bonds
Last year was a very good year for government debt.
The skittish fled the volatile stock markets, en masse, and moved
vast sums of money into the safe havens of U.S. Treasury Bills and
Treasury Notes.
The price of the 10-year Treasury Note was up in excess of 13%.
Currency
The dollar in 2007 continued its decline against its major rivals.
The cheap dollar has done the following: (1) invigorated our export
sector, kept a lid on our trade shortfall and thus boosted top-line GDP
growth, (2) boosted oil prices and thus contributed to higher overall
inflation, (3) drawn throngs of foreign tourists and boosted our
leisure and hospitality sectors, but (4) it's made it far less
palatable for inherited-wealth prima donnas to take lengthy EUropean
vacations. Tragic, I know.
Incidentally, the decline in the dollar is not being driven by fundamentals. Come on, let's get real.
The major economies of the EUro Zone when compared to America
possess: higher unemployment rates, lower rates of worker productivity,
larger social spending programs (when adjusted for relative GDP). Not
to mention lower birth rates. Not to mention weak growth rates and high
inflation. Japan's demographics are better than EUrope's, true, but
that nation's economy over the past two *decades* has gone nowhere but
sideways or down.
No, the decline in the dollar is being driven by momentum and by
highly-leveraged short selling. What's your opinon about that, George
Soros?
Mortgage Rates
Mortgage rates ended 2007 essentially at the same levels at which they began the year.
In most areas of the country you still can obtain 30-year fixed
mortgages for around 6% with no points. To put that into perspective,
back in the halcyon daze of Tip O'Neill 30-year fixed mortgages cost
upwards of 17% -- plus up-front points and bigger required down
payments.
Oil
Oil prices in 2007 charged towards $100 per barrel before meeting
"resistance" there and closing the year at 96 bucks and change.
The sharp rise in oil prices over the past several years has been
driven: (1) by a strong global economy, (2) by momentum and
highly-leveraged call options (i.e., speculative buying on Wall St.),
(3) by a cheap dollar, (4) by massive demand from the fast-growing
economies of China and India, and (5) by a "war premium" concerning
Mid-East geopolitics.
There's also the reality that when prices of raw commodities start rising they tend to keep on rising for long periods.
Short work week
This week is going to be a short work week. Wed - Friday. The one interesting thing is that I should get my raise this week!
That will then formally cap off the most promising month in my life...(yes I am factoring it as apart of December - since I submitted it in December).
This month I got a new car. Talkd to Lital on the phone. Had a good Christmas. Two short weeks at work. Meeting Shawn.
I know I am forgetting other stuff...the home improvement, and other things...but wow...what an amazing month.
WHERE ARE MY PEEPs
Where is everyone...eh probably recovering from last night...Damn it sucks I am like SO BORED right now! What a day! Tomorrow is back to the daily grind... Oh well...and now I have a commute!

You're in AZ? Just moved from Peoria two years ago. Landscaping the backyard should be your easiest New Year's resolutions: ROCK or a pool

Its going to be rocks and maybe a spa. - not big enough for a pool. Rosetta Stone is AWESOME - if you have the time to actually use it. hehe...Yes Spanish would be good...hehe...Latin..I start having problems with the declinations and such.

Oh I used to love to go into Paddock pools and spas (I think that's what it's called) and check out their stuff. It's really cool in there.
I'm bad for even saying that because my husband is a pool designer for a totally different company......................but it's still really cool in there.

Paddock is very good and so is Shasta. Both are great companies. I plan to explore both companies once I am ready to cross that bridge.

2008

Reminds me of the time when I almost shot my dad's hand off on New Years..hehe..I will detail that story later today!
Anyway, happy 2008! May we all have a better more productive year!
